Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Podiatry
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Hallux rigidus is a degenerative joint disease affecting the first metatarsophalangeal joint.
  • It causes pain and stiffness, significantly impacting patient mobility and quality of life.
  • Current treatments include open cheilectomy and exostosectomy, with varying outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of arthroscopic cheilectomy for treating hallux rigidus.
  • To assess early outcomes, including pain, joint function, and recurrence rates.
  • To determine the suitability of this minimally invasive approach for younger patients.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 15 patients with hallux rigidus who underwent arthroscopic cheilectomy.

  • Assessment of patient-reported outcomes, including pain levels and range of motion.
  • Evaluation for recurrence and need for revision surgery.

    • Main Results:

    • Arthroscopic cheilectomy yielded highly satisfactory and encouraging early results.
    • No cases of recurrence or need for revision surgery were reported.
    • Patients experienced rapid recovery, effective pain relief, and maintained metatarsophalangeal joint power and motion.

    Conclusions:

    • Arthroscopic cheilectomy is an effective and safe treatment option for hallux rigidus.
    • The procedure facilitates quick rehabilitation and preserves joint function.
    • It represents a viable alternative to open surgery, especially for younger patients seeking to maintain an active lifestyle.
